Good Reads

I'm currently reading "Devil in the White City". I like the history based stuff. "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is still one of my recent favorites as well as "Marks of Cain", "The Genesis Secret" and "The Lost Symbol".

Just read these on my Kindle:

Wool (Books 1-5) by Hugh Howey - great story about a future in a poisoned world. People are surviving in underground silos. This could be a good movie.

The Old Man and The Wasteland by Nick Cole - another post-apocalyptic story, in the vein of The Old Man and The Sea. Terrorists nuked cities in the US. Story takes place 40 years later in the desert southwest.

:cool:

:D

Hey, deja vu... I've read that ^ somewhere else... :D

Not reading any great books at the moment, need to get back into it, but there's too much on TV I want to watch now and with the DVR I'm watching my shows in the evenings right now...

If any of you like to read on the PC, there are some really good online stories...

I'm sure some of you have heard of Al Steiner...

You might have to sign up for an account to access that, but it's free...

Pretty much any of his stories are excellent... some adult content/sex in some, but I'm sure you pervs won't mind that.

As far as actual books to get... we've talked about this a lot in the Sci-Fi thread, but the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons is THE best set of books I've ever read.

Thanks kurbie :)

I just finished

http://www.amazon.com/Final-Salute-Story-Unfinished-Lives/dp/159420165X

Very good. Very difficult to get thru. Not light or happy reading but worth it.

Working on

http://www.amazon.com/Eight-Lives-Down-Worlds-Dangerous/dp/B005Q8F6EQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331137094&sr=1-1

Also good, written by a British EOD officer in Iraq.

Only 1/2 way thru this one....in one night.

I enjoy a lot of books to varying degree, but few keep me up at night to the point where I look at the clock and get pissed after I realize I am awake at 2:00 and the alarm is going off in 3 hours.

Last night was like that with this book...

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
